Overview

About 21 Bowcombe

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

21 Bowcombe is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Netley Abbey, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 5GP). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 103 m² it's 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 40 EPCs). Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 67.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2022 for £390,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21 Bowcombe is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 5GP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 21 Bowcombe. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 21 Bowcombe was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 21 Bowcombe. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 5GP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Bowcombe is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
